A post-mortem carried out on a dismembered leg found in a Dublin bin has proved to be inconclusive.

The leg and a pelvis were discovered by workers at Thorntons Recycling plant in Ballyfermot last night.

Gardaí have been examining the scene today for further remains.

While tests were conducted at Tallaght Hospital to try to find out the sex and age of the body.
